We’re going to die and not even know. We’ll never know, and all this meaninglessness will just go on and on and on. And we won’t any longer be witnesses to it. We won’t have even that little bit of power to give meaning to it in our minds. We’ll just be gone, dead, dead, dead, without ever knowing!

I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing.

Fear is only good when you have a choice in things.

My body is no schoolboy.
Anne Rice

For always in her there was a dark place full of despair and a great dividing force to make meaning because there was none.
Anne Rice
Image
The supernatural world has always been more real to me than the real world.
Anne Rice

The library furnished our dreams, helped us shape our ambitions, made up people of books and ideas and grand designs.
Anne Rice
Image
I think to feel this happy is to be miserable, to feel this much satisfaction is to burn.

I'm Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles. The canker in the heart of the rose.

You reach deep down and bring up what feels absolutely authentic to you as you move along with the book, but you don't know everything about it. You can't.
